RAILWAY MATTERS.

A BREAK IN A WESTERN ASSOCIATION.
A dispatch from Chicago says that at
Thursdays meeting of the Central Traffic
Association manager sthe Chicago and Grand
Trunk demanded that 1t should be granted
dlfferentlal on freight viaMontrealto to alieom--
petitive points In New England. All Of the
other roads opposed this proposition, and
desired to refer 1t to the joint executive com
mittee Of the trunk lines for settlement. To
this the Chicago and Grand Trunk objected,
and upon the other lines insisting, the rep
resentative OF that road gave notice that II
should at once withdraw from the assocla-
tiOn. Its withdrawal was accompanied by
its pledge that 1t would not demoralize
through rates or interfere with the policy
adopted by the association lines. The gen.
eral opinion among railroad officials Is that
the association without the aid Of the Grand
Trunk cannot be maintained, even as a rate
bureau, and that 1t will soon 90 to pieces.
The passenger department Of the Central
Trafic Association was In session Thursday
discussing the payment Of commissions, etc,
but owing 10 the action of the Chicago and
Grand Trunk at the managers meeting, It's
labors went for nothing.

Monitor and MerrImac

The Star printed this evening an Interview
with Admiral W0rden about the fight be-
tween the Monitor and the Merrimac, to-
gether with q quantity of correspondence
hitherto unpublished, and which throws new
light on the history of that battle. One let
ter from Admiral Worden himself, accepting
command Of the Monitor, shows that in
stead OF regarding her with doubt, he was
strongly impressed in her favor, and glad to
nave an opportunity to make the first expert
ment of using gunboat of so unique pat
tern. Another letter, written by Lieut..
Greene after the fight, shows that the Moni-
tor did not retire then. She had retired for
10 minutes or thereabouts at one stage of the
battle to haul up shot but renewed her fire
and kept at her work in spite of her hard
treatment till the Merrimac steamed away.
Then she drew off and dropped anchor by
the side of the Minnesota. When Can't.
Worden was disabled he was carried below
and lald ON a couch, and Lieut.. Greene went
up and took command for the rest of the day.
